About the Ladies Only Luncheon

The Ladies Only Luncheon has become an Erie tradition that supports services for children at the Barber National Institute. This event is held the Saturday before Thanksgiving to help launch the holiday season with socializing, a festive lunch and the chance to take home a bountiful gift basket or other prizes.  This is a special occasion where you can get dressed up and enjoy the day in style!

Proceeds from the 2024 Ladies Only Luncheon will help establish a fully accessible kitchen with practical adaptations designed to meet our secondary students' needs. This modern kitchen will be equipped with wheelchair accessible countertops, a spacious floor plan, and a wealth of meal preparation equipment perfectly designed to help students gain hands-on experience preparing nutritious foods.
